2003 Volkswagen Jetta GL 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 4A)

Review

Have had 0 (zero) problems with my '03
Jetta 2.0 wagon, my first VW after
many Hondas. While I can't knock
Hondas, I'm impressed by the Jetta's
step up in ride, general refinement
and classy manners. The 2.0 won't put
you ahead of the pack but there's
plenty of oomph for the average
driver. Great 5-sp shifter, superb
sound from the standard
CD/radio/cassette system, great bump-
smoothing ride, good looks inside and
out, what's not to like? And given
the plethora of standard features I
rate it high for value. It makes me
smile every time I drive it.

Favorite Features

Quality inside and out, ride,
refinement, reliability.

Suggested Improvements

Fuel economy could be improved, but
I'm getting 32mpg on the highway and I
like the ultra-low emissions.
